USA's home game against in-state rival Troy University has been moved to Fri., Oct. 24, one day earlier than originally scheduled. Kickoff time has not yet been set for the game at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

The Jaguars finished in a tie for third place in the first season they were eligible to win the league championship last year. They won their
final three games of the season, including a 30-8 win over league co-champion
Louisiana-Lafayette.

The rescheduled game against Troy is one of two Friday games for the Jaguars, both being
played on South Alabama's home field. The other is the regular-season finale
against Navy on Nov. 28. The kickoff time has not yet been established for that game either. It
will be available on ESPN3.

"The opportunity to play, especially a home game, against an in-state rival on a national stage is priceless,'' South Alabama director of athletics Joel Erdmann said. "In 2013 we received an extraordinary amount of exposure and feedback concerning playing on the SEC Network against Tennessee. Playing on the ESPN family of networks will increase that.

"Having the ability to experience that exposure not only helps the football program, but every other sports program that we have and provides exposure of the University of South Alabama and the City of Mobile.''

It is believed the high school game scheduled to be played Fri., Oct. 24 at
Ladd-Peebles Stadium will be rescheduled or moved to another venue.

The Jags' 2014 schedule features six home games and six road
games. They do not play the first weekend of the season, traveling to Kent
State to start their season on Sat., Sept. 6. They will play five consecutive
weeks before getting their only off week of the year the weekend of Oct. 11.
They will close out the season playing seven consecutive weeks. Four of those
games will be at home.
